The most advanced ship in the fleet, and they’re just gonna pass out schematics. Hmmm. I think I’ll call Washington and ask for a copy of the schematics for the stealth bomber. I’ll just pretend to be an annoying kid and they’ll be sure to give them to me. ---

It’s no worse than the species in “Cogenitor” giving Trip free run of their ship. ---

I know, I know. Trek has a bad habit of showing people sharing information that they would _never_ share without a lot of negotiations and the orders of their government. This goes all the way back to TOS. I remember watching _Space Seed_ way back when and thinking “Yeah, right. They’re just giving Kahn unrestricted access to their complete library.” But I disagree that giving Trip free run of their ship is anyway near as egregious as giving out _schematics_, fer cryin’ out loud. And we don’t know that he had free run - the only place we saw him go that he wasn’t told he could go was to the couple’s quarters, and the cogenetor let him in there. ---

There’s no telling what he might have hidden on his person though. He could have had a tricorder in one of his coverall pockets for all they knew. ---

Is that a tricorder in your coverall pocket, or are you just happy to see me? I watched it. It was still dumb. My least favorite part is ths stupid Vulcan martial arts ducking trick. “Get out of the way when they swing at you!” Duh. I could have told you that.
